Product Description:

The "hits" referred to in the title of CBS Special Products Singin' the Hits aren't necessarily hits that Marty Robbins had himself, even though he did burn up the charts with "Singing the Blues," "Don't Worry" and "Begging to You," which are all on this collection. Instead, the "hits" mean songs that were hits, whether Robbins actually charted with the song or not. That may frustrate some fans looking for a budget-line collection of hits, but the disc remains a good listen, since Robbins was an excellent vocalist who could deliver engaging interpretations of such songs as "Lovesick Blues," "I Started Loving You Again," "Bouquet of Roses," "Kaw-Liga," "She Thinks I Still Care," and "The Great Speckled Bird." That's the reason why this collection is worth its budget price for casual listeners. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
